Well, they played one brand new song, on setlists as 'Disco': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTJvbGVXwMI It seems to be dividing verve fans a bit, and i wasnt sure at first but ive come round. Its pretty epic. also here's the best version (perfomance and quality wise) of sit and wonder thus far: htt...

angelsighs

yeah, that list is just one of bootleg recordings, but its a good starting point. I don't think i've ever seen a complete gigography anywhere, or even an attempt at one.

Jasons set sounds great Sunny, I thought guitar loops was gonna be on the hypnotic and beautiful side of things, I was disappointed when it turned out to be very processed and chopped up. But this sounds just the ticket.

angelsighs

cheers olliemorr, I had a sneaky listen on one track and it sounds awesome. But I shall resist listening to any more (whatever happened to waiting until a record actually comes out, huh?)

angelsighs

So Verve start their US tour in 2 days, any of our American brethren going? Apparantly you'll be treated to at least 4 new songs. The shows I saw in the UK were flawed but one of the highlights for me was Sit and Wonder- (its awesome), so hopefully the new tunes will be a trip. http://www.nypost.com...

angelsighs

I agree that the Canada 2003 boot is one of the gems of the AG era. Spz as free-garage band.

The Electric Mainline (which had evolved into something new yet again) into Rated X into Run segment is glorious.

Not keen on the Cop Shoot Cop though.

angelsighs

I think thats pretty good really. Even though I dont have a record player to hear the (studio?) 'True Love Will FInd You..' Wonder if future singles will follow a pattern... DJ cover and extended Harmony. I think the days of brand new standalone songs on Spz singles are long gone, if they ever exist...

angelsighs

cheers- just listening to it now. this is the first time i've heard the studio version of soul on fire- i love what he's done with it, it's gorgeous. epic but woozy and damaged. I've resisted listening to death take your fiddle though (i am in the 'i'm waiting for the album' camp) all in all, pretty...

angelsighs

when abouts does J appear?

angelsighs

Just got my tickets for Nottingham dot to dot so its Cambridge and Notts for me this tour.

angelsighs

Weird I was just thinking today about making a thread on this asking if anyone would recommend it.

I loved Hex so I think this will be a must buy now.

angelsighs

cheers olliemoor for those links.

got my tickets for Brum.

Hope us guys in the UK get a chance to get that EP!!

angelsighs

its in latest uncut- with Led Zep on cover.

angelsighs

a) out on 21 apr in UK- its on amazon

b) the guardian one and the uncut one.

angelsighs

cheers buddy. Wow the songs are rather short.

Just wondered about JC as he didn't play the Sage in '05 and the new uncut interview seems to refer to him as an ex member.

angelsighs

okay, i'm gonna try and resist the album until May, but I still have a few nagging questions for you people whose ears have been blessed: - can you give me the times for each song? how long are they? -which one has the Dirtbombs on it or was that just a rumour? - any ideas on who is actually in the ...

angelsighs

I'm gonna (try and) wait too.

angelsighs

sounds great bcastle.. if its even half as good as Passover I'm gonna love it.

angelsighs

Looking at their internet page they are pencilled in for a festival in the states (with the secret machines- are they finally on their way back too?)

angelsighs

That ebay listing also shows what each 'Harmony' track is made up of.

angelsighs

I know, neither of the ATP lineups were good enough to make them a "must go" for me, but if you added the best people from either date it would be formidable.

I'm gonna try and get to the Birmingham Black Angels date, Never seen em live before.

angelsighs

The Black Angels return on May 19 with new album Directions To See A Ghost. It follows Passover, which was among PS's Top 10 albums of 2006 and is made with regular producer Erik Wolford. They tour in May at: Birmingham Bar Academy (12) Glasgow Nice (13) Nottingham Bodega (14) London ICA (15) Bristo...

angelsighs

Now the fact Morrissey wrote most of the songs... I'm no expert on the Smiths, but I always thought that most (if not all) of the songs were co-written with Marr. Am I mistaken there? He probably means the lyrics and melody, which for some people is 'the song'. But the fact is Morrissey came up wit...

angelsighs

I would think that the tour dates as posted in the news section are it for the time being.

Although i wouldn't bet against there being a second round of dates sometime in the future. It does seem a rather short tour.

angelsighs

thank you thank you thank you. very interesting.

i cant wait.

angelsighs

anyone paid the extortionate prices to see Neil on the latest tour? I'm rueing my decision to not bother now after all this talk and seeing the amazing setlists.

angelsighs

James T- you are a man with taste, all good stuff there. bzainspace- I too bought the Cat Power album after hearing (and loving) 'Lived In Bars' but don't think the rest of the album measures up, what do you think? my latest batch: Durutti Column- Another Setting Nina Simone- & Piano! Jimmy Webb...

dot2dot festival.. apart from our beloved spaceman, what a shower of shite.

angelsighs

I think the 'deluxe' version will most likely include some acoustic mainlines footage on DVD

If the singles only on 7inch and download does that mean no Bsides?

angelsighs

hmm. This dot to dot thing might be worth it as its fairly cheap and it seems the band aren't doing that many dates. I might be swayed if anyone else of any note were playing

angelsighs

cambridge box office doesnt seem to be opening so I got mine from seetickets. its all busy or busted. is that the only other place that sells tickets for the junction? I think so- their website specifically mentions them when I looked at 'how to buy tickets'. Is it not working? Mono are pretty near...

angelsighs

i'm jealous. saw Explosions in the sky in Brighton the other week and it was awesome. Really? Saw them a month ago and it was nothing to write home about, not in the same league as Mogwai or Mono by a long way. Anyway, enjoy the gigs. yep really. They didn't even play any of my favourite songs but ...

angelsighs

i'm jealous. saw Explosions in the sky in Brighton the other week and it was awesome. Love ATP as a festival too.

Anyway roll on Spiritualized ELECTRIC Mainlines!!

angelsighs

anyone know what this dot to dot festival is? any good?

angelsighs

I can only reiterate everyones thoughts here- I'm very excited. I thought the title was a bit lame initially but seeing the artwork I love it. No Daniel Johnston covers made it (and rightly so) but I would have liked the funeral home bit to be on the end of Goodnight Goodnight maybe. :( Also love th...

angelsighs

MONO are a japanese postrock band very much in the mould of Explosions in the sky or mogwai's more stripped down stuff. the loud bits are very heavy.

angelsighs

The bloke on last night's show, where he deconstructed various pop songs to identify what made them tick was all very well, but for one fatal flaw: nearly all the songs he chose were the wrong songs. Credit where due - they were probably his own cds - he'd broken the hinge of the Sinead O'Connor je...

angelsighs

porkchop- is the unknown pleasures deluxe worth getting? ok heres my latest haul from amazon. true to my new years resolution to explore new music (instead of getting yet another Dylan or Neil Young album) i have literally not heard a note of any of these records. Congos- Heart of the Congos King Tu...

wot the advert or the album?

The Janes Addiction one is pretty good, forgot about that.

angelsighs

I think even though Let It Come Down is the bands 'biggest' sounding record, it still has a nice full and rich sound to my ears.

angelsighs

Read that bit in Q. Along with Thaw Session, very encouraging. (Has Nick ever been this enthusiastic about - well - anything? And just look at Simon Jones, who, in Youtubed gig vids, is even singing along to "Velvet Morning".) Nick was similarly proud of A Northern Soul at the time if i r...

Protools.. now there's another good tool used for evil. Both this and compression can be used for good but are now abused. Although I don't accept the idea of a golden age (there is a lot of good music about nowadays) I don't think a lot of today's music will age well. Hopefully there will some sort...

angelsighs

theres a little bit in the new Q about the new Verve album- McCabe gives us a few hints on what it sounds like (Love Unlimited Orchestra produced by Scratch Perry if I remember correctly). They have 35 songs, the vast majority of which came out of jams. I'm very excited. I think its a moot point whe...

angelsighs

...erm... Anyway: compression - is that what Led Zep have done with 'the Mothership'? The Beatles with 'Love'? Anyone? Correct. New records (as well as old ones being remastered) are now being compressed to fuck. It makes the music punchier and with more 'presence' but means you lose nice deep tone...

angelsighs

I feel your pain ben. It looks like this arena tour was a full blown mistake. Crap sound is never going to be good for a band so reliant on good sonics as the verve. Even when I saw them in Blackpool the guitar sound wasn't great, but the rhythm section sounded awesome, and they pulled through with ...

angelsighs

yeah i was at blackpool and have mixed feelings about it. Maybe expectations are too high. Nicks guitar is quiet as a mouse on this tour for a reason no one can quite work out.

Anyway, hope they tear it up in Manchester for you. How on earth you gonna get back to Brighton??

angelsighs

Did you see any of the November Verve shows Ben? will be interesting to see what you think with all the mixed reports round here.

Your dream sounds fun.

angelsighs

Holy Are You was used as intro music right in the early days of the band, so it was quite significant that they were resurrecting it. It does work rather well. Guaranteed to make a hardcore fan go mental.

angelsighs

I love all of Spiritualized's work (to larger and smaller degrees obviously), I can't believe that people are complaining about getting a stripped down Spz show with gospel choir & strings, including songs from Jasons whole catalogue, and paid for out of his own pocket. If anything I think the e...

angelsighs

lookin at those piccies it seems J has beefed up the acoustic mainlines for the US, in terms of numbers - 5 gospel singers not 3!

angelsighs

Talk of Baez/Seeger et al steers the waters towards American folk which is a different ball game entirely I think. I find US stuff much more palatable. Know what you mean though, its the over earnestness that puts me off a lot of folk- the kind of 'oh this music is so authentic' attitude (are you li...

angelsighs

Cheers TheWarmth, I'll have to give this a good listen later on. Maybe I was being harsh earlier (although I think mine was one of the more even handed reports)- people's impressions of gigs can vary so much according to their mood/vibe on the day and expectations, etc. Do you know which night this ...

That would be rather lovely.

Also; a bloated and hugely emotional John Martyn singing "Hurt in my Heart" Forgot about John Martyn, I'm a big fan of his, especially the impeccable run of 70s albums. Although his stuff is so trippy and electic that is barely falls into the folk category (apart from the early albums, th...

My Dad's a huge Steeleye Span fan. Huge. But i've never gotten the appeal of pure folk- it always seems archaic to my (possibly closed-minded) ears. But like someone said above the folk gene is present in a lot of stuff I like. Its the undiluted stuff that I can't take. Quite like some of Pentangle'...

angelsighs

Interesting discussion here. Surely any new MBV record (whether good or dissapointing) is better than no new MBV record at all? I'm another one of those people who like Loveless, I like it a lot, but I don't think its as definitive or as exceptional as generally thought. There's a lot more to be exp...

I saw them live at Glastonbury '04 in one of the small tents- at the beginning of their set there was hardly any people watching, at the end it was rammed. The power of their set simply bought wondering punters in like the pied piper, it was brilliant. And nah its the guitarist that does it for me :...

angelsighs

I empathise with your feelings- I was certainly deflated and letdown after the first night in Blackpool, but on the second night, with much lower expectations and a decision to just enjoy the rhythym section instead, I enjoyed it a significant amount more. I also really enjoyed the new song, and the...

Angelsighs said "I also heard a lot of Ian McCulloch in the vocals- something i've never observed before!" At last someone else has noticed. I've been saying this since ANS but no one ever seemed to agree. Oh well, nice of the world to catch up eventually! :lol: Only just noticed it when ...
